LaserSoft Imaging announces new SilverFast version

SilverFast Software update : Multi Exposure is the catchword of LaserSoft Imaging which now revolutionizes the concept of High Dynamic Imaging. This function in SilverFast version 6.5 utilizes varying exposures of the scan. Thus the dynamic range is dramatically increased and even the most subtle nuances in both shadow and highlight areas are recognized and enhanced. The Multi Exposure function is based on the principle of the distinguished Multisampling Feature with autoalignment. With Multisampling the picture is scanned several times using the same settings, in order to identify and minimize noise. With Multi Exposure the dynamic range of the scanners is utilized by repeating the scan with different exposure intensities.

This creates a dynamic range comparable to that of a drum scanner. The patented auto-alignment secures the precision of the scan allowing for optimal sharpness and clarity. Using established film scanners, precise measurements were taken at LaserSoft Imaging's lab where dynamic increases and qualitative improvements of 25% using Multi Exposure were documented. With this dynamic range increase, the new SilverFast 6.5 can dramatically improve the results of image capture for both reflective and transparent originals.

Finally, Multi Exposure offers another advantage over Multisampling: Multi Exposure achieves the same quality in substantially less time. Another novelty and an impressive highlight of the new SilverFast 6.5 is called the SilverFast ColorServer. New possibilities of automation and flexibility completely redefine the process of digital imaging, allowing a substantial increase in productivity.

SilverFast AutoFrame detection
In addition to the new functions such as Multi Exposure and the ColorServer, SilverFast’s new Basic mode offers beginners an easy entry into the world of digital imaging with SilverFast. The AutoFrame detection, an extended NegaFix dialogue, the proven selective color correction SCC with new presets, as well as the Ai-HDR Auto-Gamma optimization complete the spectrum of SilverFast 6.5.

About LaserSoft Imaging
Founded by the physicist Karl-Heinz Zahorsky in 1986, LaserSoft Imaging AG, SilverFast is now established as the world-wide standard for scan software, while SilverFastHDR and SilverFastDCPro have become well-known software applications to work with RAW data of scanners and digital cameras. SilverFast is bundled by many well known hardware manufacturers such as Canon, Epson, HP, Microtek, Pentacon, Plustek, Quatographic, Reflecta, Samsung, Umax and many others. Currently, there are more than 1,5 million installations of SilverFast world wide. After 20 years of successful development, Silverfast 6.5 is sure to be another milestone of convincing quality and productivity.
